The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Stuck in a cage surrounded by cackling faces

The keys are dangled just out of my reach

People with freedom stand around me, faces red with laughter

Self concious of my servitude, I cringe back

When the faces are turned, I lash out at my tiny cage

The bars strengthen and my frailty is shown

I lie back and wait for their advance

Sticks rip into my ribs

Metal prods are thrust into my hide

I try to dodge and escape, but the cage prohibits movement

All I can do is stand and take it

Scarred and set in the face, I limp back

Broken and bloodied, I'm left to my own devices

Curse this binding cage

Curse this frailty

Shackled back, my wings are plucked

Faith is lost in what I once was

To fly free again would be heaven...
